.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.BR io_uring_prep_getxattr (3)
function prepares a request to get an extended attribute value. The submission 
queue entry
.I sqe
is setup to get the
.I value
of the extended attribute identified by
.I name
and associated with the given
.I path
in the filesystem.
The
.I len
argument specifies the size (in bytes) of
.IR value .

.BR io_uring_prep_fgetxattr (3)
is identical to 
.BR io_uring_prep_getxattr (3),
only the open file referred to by
.I fd
is interrogated in place of
.IR path .

This function prepares an async 
.BR getxattr (2)
request. See that man page for details.

.SH RETURN VALUE
None
